Philippine Embassy Doha Appointment: How to Book
Quick answer
At the Philippine Embassy in Doha, only passport applications need a booking, made on passport.gov.ph (or on the BLS site for its renewal center). Notarials, attestation and affidavits need no appointment: you file them at the processing window, Sunday to Thursday, 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Contract verification at MWO Qatar has its own booking site, and OWWA renewal there is walk-in.
What are the requirements?
- For a passport slot: an email address and your passport details exactly as printed.
- For notarials: the original document with all attachments, one extra original set for the Embassy's file, your passport and a photocopy, and your QID. Every signer must be present.
